ridgeman 153 Posted December 4, 2019 No chance tonight with the officials in charge. Kevin Friend referee is bad enough but overseeing VAR non other than Simon Hooper. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hillhead 114 Posted December 4, 2019 Until Wenger's interview I didn't realise we are the only league actually trying to avoid using the pitch side VAR monitor to let the referee check his own decisions. The best time to let the referee use the technology available was the start of the season. The second best time is when it avoids letting Simon Hooper loose on it.

hogesar 10,761 Posted December 4, 2019 That's the thing with VAR, it's a new way to double-down by having two awful referees working together in tandem. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well Michael Oliver was the VAR official v Arsenal, and he wasn’t brilliant either! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well b back 3,603 Posted December 5, 2019 Yep Hooper is referee on Sunday, Thought the VAR guys were only there because they weren’t good enough in the match situations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,711 Posted December 5, 2019 Thought Friend was certainly not our enemy last night. It's the inconsistency that's so annoying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
